Critics of the British viceroy accuse him of blatant bias for authorizing the Rhodesian security forces to track down and shoot guerrillas who "unlawfully" remain outside the cease-fire camps. Claiming that 17 of his men were killed by the Rhodesians last week while trying to get to a camp, Nkomo demanded that the 1,200-man Commonwealth observer force be reinforced by 5,000 or 10,000 additional troops...
